Abstract

A data transceiving station of digital data frames includes a digital modem coupled to a transmission line, and a microprocessor receiving demodulated data from the modem according to a Packet Mode or a Bit Mode transmission through an interface circuit. The interface circuit switches between the Packet Mode and the Bit Mode transmission during transfer of a data frame to the microprocessor. The data transceiving station combines the superior speed of a Packet Mode transfer with the unlimited compatibility of a Bit Mode transfer.
